DD1991 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Is there a PDF of the paper on Cryodrakon I could look at? By the way, two Cryodrakon specimens (TMP 1972.1.1 and TMP 1982.19.295) were once referred to Navajodactylus by Sullivan and Boere (2011), who also considered another Cryodrakon specimen, TMP 1965.14.398, an indeterminate pterosaur. That said, Cryodrakon is another addition to the inventory of non-Quetzalcoatlus azhdarchids from the North America, including Montanazhdarcho, Navajodactylus, and Arambourgiana.
